You are circumventing the big picture. Of course he voted for it. With the caveat that nothing else would be considered- whst the progressives wanted - because he is suddenly and conveniently fiscally responsible. Now pick up with my last post.

You also know they could raise the debt ceiling too without a GOP vote, right?

Lol! Three times with Democratic support under Trump it was raised. Now it is on us so that the right can spin it like we are the reckless spenders? Ok.

From the Washington Post today. Schumer could raise it without any GOP help

Why doesn’t he?

Really? Read your own article. Or my previous post. Because you and the rest of the right will turn around and call them reckless- it would be political suicide. This is an instance where there needs to be bipartisanship. Like there was when Trump kept doing it. The crazy thing is he is the reason we need to do it now. And suddenly Mitch is hiding in the bushes. I know you see what is going on here Chico.

Yeah I read it and I don’t think u know why wouldn’t Schumer simply push the gop and raise it himself. I think u are missing a nuisance within it procedurally. Schumer needs the gop to raise it so they can ram thru a massive socialist spending bill which no gop member would support. It’s about limits…

Schumer can raise the debt limit himself with any GOP support

The Republicans are either liars or cowards when it comes to the national debt.

Either liars and don't give a shit about it and will keep raising it, while only pretending to make an issue of it when they aren't in charge.

Or pathetic fucking cowards that won't stand up and fight and say we can't keep raising the debt and in-fact need to reduce it. And it would be a fight, because this would mean government would actually have to budget, reduce spending, etc.

Not really sure which one is worse. The party has failed America.

Our national debt is $28.43 trillion. That is 28,430,000,000,000. It's so many zeroes I had to Google how to even put it in actual number form.

It's almost like it's so big most people just don't bother caring about it, like it's no big deal. This should be a big fucking deal to every American, no matter how you vote.
